All I can say is that the commerical is stupid.

One of my favorite songs. Its fun to see ASL mainstreamed on a television ad and incorporated in new ways with dance. Great ad for hearing friends of the deaf. I can listen hands free and talk(dance) with my friends.

Lyrics to the song “Rebel Yell” by Billy Idol-

Last night a little dancer came dancing to my door
Last night a little angel came pumping on my floor
She said “Come on baby I got a license for love
And if it expires pray help from above”

After a little research (reading the comments on YouTube) I found out this is an independently made commercial by an ASL interpreter (the dancer) and her husband (the cameraman and editor)

From the cameraman-

“Believe it or not, many hard-of-hearing kids like music and use sign language. Also, my wife (Mona Jean Cedar) incorporates sign language with dance, and it is a means of expression and communication that is directed toward everyone, not just deaf/hard-of-hearing.”

Awesome that this is an independent creative project, but sad that it might not be on television, unless Apple becomes interested in it.
